Re: Permit No.NC0003760: A. (13) Schedule of Compliance Total Copper, Total Lead, Total Silver,
and Total Zinc Outfalls 002& 003 Year 2 Summary Report& CAP.
The following compliance aspects were addressed during the second year of the 5-year compliance
schedule.
a) Document any identified sources of the Total Copper, Total Lead, Total Silver, and Total Zinc:
Since the plant is not manufacturing any chemicals or using any raw materials with heavy
metals,the site's investigation focused on the infrastructure of the site. The site started
manufacturing polyester fibers,polyethylene terephthalate(PET) in 1953 and 66 years later,the
site continues to manufacture poly trimethylene terephthalate (PTT) a polyester polymer.
The site's large infrastructure is constructed of materials that contain zinc, lead, and copper and
many of these buildings have deteriorated. A major effort and significant investment for
demolition and removal (D&R)of obsolete equipment,piping, tanks and buildings was
initiated 2 years ago and continues through 2019.
In addition to the D&R work at the site,most of the remaining galvanized steel buildings have
been painted to inhibit additional corrosion.
b) Submit a report summarizing the identified pollutant sources and source reduction alternatives
that were investigated: The site's age and infrastructure is contributing to the sources of zinc,
copper and lead. Outfall 002 receives waters from the heart of the manufacturing area, where
two main stormwater trunks direct water down from buildings (roofing, siding, downspouts)
piping, and tanks through the outfall. The catch basins contributing to outfall 002,will be
cleaned out(CAP task)to remove accumulated material.
A walk-through audit of outfall 002 identified 4-galvinized steel culverts that are corroded
through at the bottom and being washed out from erosion. A capital project was funded to have
all 4 culverts removed from the outfall; eliminating this potential source of zinc. This project
will be completed by mid-year 2019.
A grassed swale was constructed for outfall 004 several years ago to address zinc containing
runoff from the aging warehouses near that outfall. After the grassed swale was installed the
warehouses (over 100,000 square feet)were D&R'd. The site would propose a grassed swale
BMP be installed at outfall 002 as part of the site's CAP (see Figure 1, CAP).
Outfall 003, collects stormwater flows from the front of the site is not impacted by our
manufacturing of PTT. Roofing, siding, downspouts, and other infrastructure materials
contribute to the metals in the stormwater runoff.

The catch basins contributing to outfall 003, will be cleaned out(CAP task)to remove
accumulated material.
To collect a more representative sample at outfall 003,the site proposes to move the monitoring
location to a new location further downstream of the current monitoring location(see Figure 2
CAP).
c) Submit a Corrective Action Plan (CAP): See Attached.
As the site closes out year two of the five-year compliance schedule, we will continue study our
stormwater as we work to achieve each milestone in our CAP over the next three years.
If you have any questions,please contact Jon Carpenter, Environmental Manager at 252-522-6255

STORMWATER CORRECTIVE ACTION PLAN (CAP)
This Stormwater Corrective Action Plan (Table 1) has been developed in conjunction with A. (13)
Schedule of Compliance Total Copper, Total Lead, Total Silver, and Total Zinc for Outfalls 002&003 to
address compliance with the new lower limits for metals copper, lead,silver, and zinc for the two
(Outfalls 002 &003) combined process/stormwater discharges at DuPont—Kinston Facility, National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System Permit No. NC0003760.The schedule included in this Plan
provides a means for NCDEQ to assess the progress being made on each milestone.
